7 To all it may concern:

, of 'cementitious Be it known that I DANIEL A. KEOGAN, a citizen of the-United States, and a resident of White Haven, in the county of Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and Improved Mold for Making Cementitious Articles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to molds for making cementitious burial vaults, such as shown ard. described in the application for Letters Patent of the United States, No.402 ,417,filed under even date herewith.

The object of the invention istoprovidc a new and improved mold .for making articles material such as burial vaults and the like, and arranged to allow the operator to conveniently open and close the mold and to properly su port the molded article while setting and hardening.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, ill-which similar characters of reference indicate corres ondlng parts in all the vlews.

lgure 11s a longltudlnal sectional elevareceptacle of a burial vault; Fig. 2 is a like view of the same, showing the mold turnedover for removal of the core and for-supporting the molded burial vault; Fig. 3 is a cross section-of the same-on the'line'3--3' of Fig. 1 F ig. 4 is an enlarged sectional. plan view of art ofthe improvement on the line 4-4 of ig. 1; 5 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the mold formaking the cover or lid, and Fi' 6 is a transverse section of the same on the%ine66 of Fig. 5.

The sectional casing of themold, shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3- and- 4",, consistsof an annular bottom plate A, made rectangular, and to which are removably secured by bolts B and w an le-irons'B, the ends'C, C" and the sides D, of the casing. The ends'andthe sides are removably fastened together by bolts E and angle irons E, as plainly indicated in Fig. 4,. to securely hold the said parts of the sectional casingin secure position durin the 7 time the cementitious plastic material is lled into the mold The ends C: C of the sectional casing are ,provided with bearings F, F, for engage-' .from the bearin s.

core standards H and H toone'sideg. thus disenng the trunnions G, G from the 2 after which the ends'G', G and the sides D, D can be'disconnected from' the bottom iplate A and'the t'opplat'e'L, to allow'of using H, H, preferably mounted on casters H, to

permit ofconveniently moving the standards to or from the casing whenever it isdesired to engage the trunnions G, G with the bearings F, F or to rem'ove the" saidfl'trunnions Now by the arrangement described, t e trunnions G, G when in engagement with the bearings F, F support the sectional casin' and allow of turning same into an upsir e down position, as lustrated in Fig. 2-.

The core I for the sectional casing extends into the latter through the opening of the bottom plate A, as plainly indicated in Fig. 1', the lower end of the. core I fitting the inner wall of the bottom plate A, so as to close the casing at the bottointhereof. The core I is supported on blocks J or other supports, wholly independent of the standards a I, H and theirtrunnionsG,,Gj used for supporting the sectional casing. Now when the sectional casin and the core I are in the position indicated ll'l Flg'. 1', then the plastic cementiti'ous material can be placed 'into the sectional casingiand tainpedtherein, to form the receptacle as indi'cated'in Fig. 2, and when this has been done a topplate L is fastened by bolts N and angle irons N to the upper portions of the'endsQCand thesides tion of the mold, arranged for making the D, D of the sectional casing,- and when this has been done the mold is turned, into an upside'down position, as showni'n'Fig; 2, the topplateL then being the bottom plate rest,- ing on the supports I The core can now be conveniently Withdrawn from the mold,

and for this purpose tlie'core'l i's'provided at the inside with apertured' ribs I-,-engaged b hooks 0, held on the lower ends ofscrew I0( s the.

T adapted to be'engaged by the trunnions Jrof the movable standards II, II pre- An annular top plate U, is removably fastened by bolts V, to the sides of the bottom R and to the ends S, S, it being understood that the sides of the easing are formed by the bottom'R, as plainly indicated in Fig. 6. The bottom R is recessed on its upper face according to the shape to be given.

will be readily un- Fig. 6.

After the cover is formed in the mold and the plastic material has'set and hardened, then the mold is turned upside down and the top plate U is supported on the supports J, after which the several parts of the mold are disconnected and removedto allow the cover to rest until completely dry;

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to seeure by Letters Patent:
